Thirty-five years ago, Operation Solomon brought 14,325 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in a mere 36 hours.

Today, Jewish Federations of North America continue the sacred work of bringing Jews home.

Through our partnership with The Jewish Agency for Israel, we're facilitating the Aliyah of members of the Bnei Menashe community from northeast India by 2030.

Thank you to BBYO Northwest Canada Region for inviting Stacey Leavitt Wright, CEO of Jewish Federation of Edmonton , and Rob Nagus, CEO of Calgary Jewish Federation, to join in the fun at the Spring Convention this past weekend at Camp BB-Riback

Their conversations with the attendees about the antisemitism they are facing in their daily lives, Jewish leadership, responsibility, and showing up in this moment made the gathering especially meaningful as they look ahead to summer.

Stacey and Rob had an amazing time, and left feeling inspired by BBYO’s young Jewish leaders. In their hands, the future of Jewish Alberta looks bright!

Chag Shavuot Sameach!

Celebrated seven weeks after Pesach, Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and is also a festival of harvest, gratitude, learning, and community.

Shavuot traditions include staying up late for Torah study, hearing the reading of the Ten Commandments, decorating with flowers and greenery, and gathering together over festive meals. Many communities read the Book of Ruth, whose conversion story holds special meaning for many who have chosen to become Jewish.

It is Ashkenazi tradition to enjoy dairy dishes on Shavuot - from cheesecake, cheese blintzes, kugel, ice cream, pizza and every kind of cheesy goodness imaginable!

As we celebrate the giving of the Torah, may this holiday inspire us with learning, connection, sweetness, and joy. Please note that Calgary Jewish Federation will be closed on Friday in observance of Shavuot.
